A friend of mine posted this article on Facebook and I found it interesting and thought I'd share it.

Due to me not feeling well, and being in a bit of pain ( Last weekend of work was busy, and I twisted my ankle ) I haven't been able to focus on my posts for today so I will be writing them later and posting them tomorrow ( Wednesday) instead of today.

Today we bring you a guest post from Eunisse C. De Leon, a writer who’s interested in Asian culture and anything art and design-related. I hope you'll give her a warm HeroMachine welcome!
A typical superhero wears form-fitting clothes, a cape, and a mask to complete their image but characters are now tweaking their signature look. While most superheroes hide their identities under a mask, there are those who prefer to give a hint while still leaving an air of mystery.
This list welcomes the 10 protagonists from comic books, animated films and series, and the gaming world who opted to wear cool sunglasses instead of the usual mask that makes them look like burglars instead of someone who saved the day.

Hello Folks, I am taking a short break, (this week and perhaps next week as well ) from writing the Poll Position post as I am beginning to have some trouble coming up with some compelling topics for them. I will use this time to either research some topics of come up with a new style of posts to replace the poll position with. I have just been laid off my job for the winter ( seasonal job ) so I have some time on my hands to put into figuring out my next step here!

This week, as it's halloween, I would like you to break out the bedsheets and show me your best ghoul, ghast or ghost. You are free to do any kind of non-corperal entity, from a pernicious poltergeist to a frightening phantom. You can do this any way you want, horror-centric, fantasy, historical, real-life or you could do a Boston Brand (not literally, 'cause that would beak the rules, but you get the idea). No zombies are allowed (on account of them being corperal entities), but possessed objects/ people do count, as long as there is some evidence of said possessing spirit.
As per usual, there are no entry limits, the contest will close at 12am Sunday (blog time). Please read the rules before entering, have fun and good luck.
Rules for posts, contests, and challenges that I am hosting: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPG’s or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warnings. Only post characters that you have either created for this contest specifically or you know for certain have never been entered to a contest before. If you aren’t certain, don’t enter it, because I’m not going to go back through all of the contests and check.

Thanks to everyone who came out to play for this unscheduled Pop Quiz - Halloween Mashup! Some really great creations, some downright creepy and others done with tongue planted firmly in cheek. This was a very tough call simply because they all captured the theme so well. There were three, however, that kept me coming back again and again, finding little details I had not noticed before. They were Vampire/Nurse by David Antstiss, Leprechaun /Fairy by CantDraw, and Alien/Samurai by Calvary Red.
Since I have to choose a winner I am going with CantDraw's Leprechaun Fairy. Amazing attention to detail. Well done. Be sure to check out the Blog on Saturday, November 1st at 9am Eastern for the next Pop Quiz.

This weeks poll had the highest number of votes we've ever had. And whilst it wasn't as much of a walk over as some previous polls, there was a very clear winner. And that winner was OnionBeam for Witch Of The Forest.
